title: [Update of European tracheo-pulmonary surgery and the cultural contribution of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASCL) in this field].
abstract: It is a select overview of the most advanced surgical treatment strategies developed during the past fifteen years by some well known European Surgical Groups, which are actively involved with lung cancer cure. The whole matter is discussed in the following five chapters; a) The historical impact of the New International System for Staging Lung Cancer; b) The Orlowsky Tracheobronchial stent; c) The extended surgery for locally advanced NSCLC and for tracheal Obstructive Disease. This includes: i) Extended resections for apical tumours; ii) Tracheobronchoplastic procedures (Bronchoplastic lobectomies, carinal resections, tracheal cylindrical resections), and iii) the Surgical approach to N2 Disease; d) The surgical approach to Pulmonary Metastases and finally e) The promotion of Surgical Knowledge in the modern Europe. It is worthy pointing out that the introductive (a) and the conclusive (e) chapters are representing two peculiar facets of the cultural background which has supported the active evolution of the clinical approach to lung cancer in Europe.
